Abstract
En 中文
There is a growing demand for molecular dynamics simulations to explore longer timescale behavior of giant protein-DNA complexes such as chromatin. To address this need, we extended OpenCafeMol, a GPU-accelerated residue-level coarse-grained molecular dynamics simulator originally developed for proteins and lipids, to support 3SPN.2 and 3SPN.2C DNA models. We also implemented a hydrogen-bond-type many-body potential to model DNA-protein interactions more accurately. To further improve computational efficiency, we introduced a localized scheme for calculating base-pairing and cross-stacking interactions. Benchmark tests show that OpenCafeMol on a single GPU achieves up to 200-fold speed-up for DNA-only systems and up to 100-fold speed-up for DNA-protein complexes compared to CPU-based simulations. To demonstrate the capability of our implementation for long-timescale biological processes, we simulated an archaeal SMC-ScpA complex undergoing DNA translocation via segment capture (a proposed mechanism for DNA loop extrusion) in the presence of a DNA-bound obstacle. We observed continuous captured-loop growth accompanied by obstacle bypass within the segment capture framework.
